A 52-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman were injured and taken to hospital.
Police say the man remains in hospital in life-threatening condition while the woman has since been released.
A neighbour described seeing an older woman covered in blood and a younger woman running screaming from a home around the time of the incident.
Following an investigation, a 24-year-old London man has been charged with attempted murder and assault with a weapon.
Officials say the suspect and victims are known to each other.
The accused made a court appearance Friday and was remanded in custody pending his next court date on Feb. 8.
Court documents identify the 24-year-old as Mohammed Hazim.
